Chapter 961 The End of the Golden Age

On June 26, 2017, after Li Liang and King won the championship, a special awards ceremony was held in Manhattan, New York.

This is one of Adam Silva's reforms to the NBA. The awards that were originally selected and presented during the season will be concentrated after the season is over, and an awards ceremony similar to a film festival will be held for nominations-awards .

This is a step in the entertainment of the NBA, but it is also a rather tasteless step.

Once the season is over and the championship is settled, everyone's expectations for the awards will be greatly reduced.

After all, the NBA is a championship-only league. The biggest suspense has been revealed, and the attention of the previous small honors has naturally dropped significantly.

Except for some die-hard fans, some passer-by fans are less likely to pay attention to the awards after the end of the season.

At most, I just know a result, and I won't go to the awards ceremony.

At the award ceremony at the end of June, Li Liang, who was the biggest winner of the season, simply didn't go to the scene because he knew that this year's regular season MVP would not be given to him.

Sure enough, the most important regular-season MVP award went to LeBron James.

After all, in the regular season, the Golden State Warriors achieved a record of 68 wins, making the league proud, and other teams are hard to come by.

In terms of personal data, no player has played a world-shattering performance.

At the same time, the league doesn't want to give the MVP to Bruce Lee anymore. This year's MVP is given to James, which can be regarded as compensation for a little loss in the 2013 season.

Although James received the award with a smile on his face, his overall mood was not very high.

The season is over, and everyone is thinking about next season. The shadow of another defeat in the Western Conference Finals has been hanging over James. A regular season MVP is just a little consolation.

The Warriors will still have a very strong lineup next season, and they still have a chance to challenge Li Liang's dominance.

But to be honest, the Warriors' loss to the Kings this year will not only hit the Kings, but also the entire league.

If a lineup like the Warriors can't beat Li Liang, then other teams don't even think about it.

The more frightening news came in July when the Kings completed a signing that made everyone desperate, especially the Warriors, in the free market.

After Rudy Gay's contract expired, the Kings chose not to renew Gay's contract and let him become a free agent.

The Kings also cleaned up a batch of expired contracts, freeing up more than 20 million yuan in space at once.

Instead, the Kings poached the corner of the Warriors-Iguodala, whose contract had expired, used a three-year contract of 64 million to poach Iguodala!

After the signing was completed, all the coaches and managers in the entire West were blown away.

It is said that after hearing the news, Popovich yelled and said directly that he didn't want to do it anymore and wanted to go with Duncan.

The warriors were originally the best hope to resist Li Liang, but the generals in the formation were poached.

The Warriors can only give Iguodala a three-year contract of 48 million, while the Kings have to pay 16 million more, which is not a small amount.

More importantly, Li Liang's personal lobbying made Iguodala tempted and decided to switch to the Kings.

The allure of championships, rings is huge.

Although Iguodala is 33 years old, his competitive state is still very good and he has rich experience.

Even if the level is not as good as the peak, it is better to get him to the king than to stay in the Warriors and cause trouble for Li Liang.

This signing can be said to have extinguished the Warriors' idea of ​​​​resistance in the new season.

Sure enough, in the 2017-2018 season, the regular season was uneventful. Although there were still wonderful performances, lore, super statistics, rising rookies, and exciting offense and defense, for experienced NBA fans, the biggest suspense of the season was not enough.

The Kings, who have finished running in, worked hard in the new season and rushed to a record of 65 wins and 17 losses, creating the best record in the history of the Kings.

Li Liang's performance on and off the court has become more and more impeccable.

No injuries, full attendance without taking turns, contributing 30 points steadily every game, leading the team to win and clock out.

Moreover, he got married this year. After having his own family, he has become more mature and stable, and it also makes people feel more invincible.

Challengers are emerging. In the 2018 West, the Warriors are still the strongest challenger. The Spurs are growing extremely fast. In the East, the Celtics are starting to dominate. They use the Nets’ picks to make waves, and the 76ers are growing rapidly. .

But no matter how they grow, all teams feel that the distance from the Kings and Bruce Lee seems to be getting farther away.

Because people are surprised to find that Li Liang is also growing!

This guy is still improving, and he is improving at a very fast speed.

In the 2018 season, he suddenly possessed a strong low-post singles ability, combined with his precise jumper, he was simply unstoppable.

His scoring has become more and more arbitrary, almost to the point of completely ignoring defense, which is a bit similar to NBA players going to CBA to play.

As expected in the playoffs, the Kings cut melons and cut vegetables all the way to the finals.

In the Western Conference Finals, the Kings sent the Warriors home with a crisp 4:2.

In the general game, 4:2, in Boston, Li Liang's spiritual hometown, Li Liang was crowned king for the sixth time.

At the same time, the ratings of the NBA Finals declined further, as did the ratings of the regular season and the All-Star Game.

In the All-Star Game, Xiao Hua launched the captain selection mode, but Li Liang, who was appointed as the captain, refused the appointment.

This is not the first time Li Liang has publicly confronted NBA officials.

This made the Alliance Office extremely annoyed, but helpless.

This guy promised to participate in the slam dunk contest, but he didn't.

We agreed to take part in the three-point contest again to break the historical record, but we still haven't...

In order to increase the ratings, Xiao Hua has tried his best to impress the fans with his feelings.

But it didn't work, and the new fans were getting less and less convinced.

Li Liang has also become an opinion leader on Twitter, singing against the NBA everywhere.

If the number one player in an alliance is always against the alliance, things will be difficult.

The Alliance wanted to suppress Li Liang, but the problem was that this man was too powerful, and ordinary whistles couldn't beat him at all.

Moreover, the referee still has a good relationship with Li Liang, which makes the league office feel like it's on pins and needles.

The 18th season was a dismal year for the NBA as a whole.

Li Liang and the king are the biggest winners, and everyone else is a loser.

The NBA began to face the same crisis before Stern came to power in the 1980s, and the Boston Celtics were gradually infiltrating and controlling the entire league.

Now, the NBA championship is being monopolized by a Chinese, and local fans are increasingly reluctant to watch this strange league dominated by blacks and eventually dominated by a Chinese.

In the summer of 2018, an opportunity appeared. Of course, the seeds of this opportunity had been planted in 2017, and that was the opening of the BIG3 league.

This is a three-on-three league jointly initiated by Iverson and Ice Cooper and gathered retired NBA players.

In 2017, it was tepid. In 2018, there was suddenly a strong capital injection from the UK, which expanded the league size and began to poach people from NCAA colleges and universities, and even directly poach high school students.

The NCAA earns staggering revenue across the United States, but student players don't get any money, they work for nothing, and they fight purely for honor.

In order to enter the NBA, most talented players use the NCAA as a springboard for one year, and they are drafted into the NBA after playing for one year.

The level of the NCAA has naturally declined, as can be seen from the MOP winners over the years.

Now there is another BIG3 to poach the wall. No one cared at first, because there are many basketball leagues in the United States, and there is no so-called real "official league". The strongest league was challenged by the ABA in the middle, and finally annexed the ABA.

Today, the NBA is already a super giant, and no basketball league can shake it.

The scale of BIG3 is gradually expanding, and the BIG League adopts the mode of centralized venues and network broadcasting. All games are held in New York and Los Angeles. The venues are played in venues of different styles, sizes, and themes. At the same time use the network to broadcast live to the world.

The game system has gradually expanded from the initial 3V3 to 5V5 games. The number of players in each team is limited to 12 points. The number of teams is increasing, and the style of play is open, fast, and there are four-pointers. Tactics Complex and varied, full of gimmicks.

The number of viewers watching Big3 games on the Internet is increasing.

The NBA's ratings hit a record low in 2019, because there is still no suspense about the championship this year.

The Kings team suddenly became as rock-solid as Li Liang, and there were no injuries in the regular season.

They scored 60 wins and 22 losses, the same record as the Bucks in the East... The East has become a battlefield for the Bucks and the Celtics.

In the West, the Warriors have suffered a wave of injuries, and the Spurs have been unable to make further progress. Both Gasol and Alder have become older.

As for the Thunder, the Clippers, and the Lakers, they seemed to have been enchanted by Li Liang. They had tasted the championship, and then they couldn't find that feeling anymore, and they didn't want to look for it.

In the regular season, they still played lively, but in the playoffs, they were severely beaten by Li Liang, who was stronger than before.

His strength is simply inflated. In the 19th season, he practiced his dribbling to perfection, and he has breakthrough footsteps that are not commensurate with his body shape.

No one can stop him anymore, not even Michael Jordan.

In the finals, the Kings beat the Milwaukee Bucks 4-0. Before the game, Antetokounmpo, who was clamoring to overthrow the king’s rule, was beaten to shame by Li Liang. He scored less than 20 points in two games and was completely defeated by Li Liang’s three-pointer. shoot through.

Li Liang finally completed his three-game winning streak in a team and became a well-deserved basketball emperor.

However, the ratings of the league have reached the bottom, and Adam Silva can't wait to sign an agreement with the gaming company to introduce investment from the gaming company, otherwise, there will be a big hole in the NBA's revenue.

On the contrary, the vibrant Big3 league is in full swing. Unlike the NBA's superstar route, BIG3 focuses on the overall packaging of the team style, and each team style is very distinctive.

At the same time, the competition system is more interesting and exciting, which attracts the attention of young people and Internet users.

And in the summer of 2019, where did Li Liang's father go to a large-scale variety show again.

This time, Li Liang took the initiative to apply for a trade to the Kings, and he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers-one for Leonard and a bunch of draft picks.

Leonard has been with the Lakers for three years, and his personal strength has continued to grow, but unfortunately he just couldn't win the championship.

The collocation with Love and Wade is always almost meaningless.

After all, he was not recognized by the Lakers fans.

And what the Lakers fans have been thinking about, the real king is finally back.

It's not just the king who came, the Lakers also vacated a huge space and ate LeBron James in one bite!

Finally, the big and small kings join forces, the NBA finale!

James is fed up with the result of losing to Li Liang every year-7 years, a full 7 years!

He has never won a series and has been stepped on to the throne every time. It is already remarkable that James can persist for seven years.

The two finally teamed up in the Lakers, and Li Liang wanted to win his eighth championship here and complete the tasks in the "City of Angels Book".

After the start of the season, everything went smoothly, but in 2020, a disaster hit the world.

NBA suspension!

And, at the beginning of 2020, David Stern died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

It was originally a heart-wrenching event, but the day after Stern's death, a mysterious video went viral on the Internet-this is an interview with Stern on his deathbed, using a question-and-answer format. Form, all questions are extremely sharp, pointing to the core secrets of the NBA.

These include draft scandals, gambling, black whistle, game manipulation and a series of issues that can shake the foundation of the NBA.

All the answers are unfavorable to the NBA, and many rumors that have been speculated for a long time have been confirmed one by one.

The NBA officially responded on the same day, saying that the video tape was fake and was made with post-production technology.

However, after repeated verifications, many video experts said that this video tape is fake and true.

No one knows when and by whom Stern made the video, or why he did it.

The other person is dead, and there is no proof of his death, but the contents of the video tape make people believe it.

The NBA is facing a huge crisis of confidence, coupled with the suspension of the game, the entire league has begun to be in jeopardy.

At the same time, BIG3 is held in full swing, attracting more and more young people's attention.

Moreover, due to the special competition system and broadcast method, it is basically not affected by the disaster and proceeds normally.

At this moment, Li Liang posted a message on Twitter, "Next season, I will bring my talent to BIG3."

Li Liang's move heralded the end of the NBA's golden age.

It will die.

...

In 1986, in the cramped away locker room of the Boston Garden, Li Liang sat on his seat and laced his sneakers.

There is still half an hour before the start of the game. The sound insulation in the locker room is not very good. Li Liang can hear the loud shouts on the court.

That was the voice of the Boston fans.

The locker room was hot and without air conditioning, and the Portland Trail Blazers players were huddled together, silently preparing for the game.

It was the last game of the 1986 NBA Finals, with the Portland Trail Blazers and Celtics in Game 7.

Therefore, this is also the last game of the 1986 NBA season.

Li Liang completes the tasks in the system all the way. In reality, he keeps feeling, but the system suffers from ravages.

But he improved quickly. In his second year in the league, he reached the finals and met the great Celtics.

He scored an away game in the first game, lost in the second game, and lost consecutive games in the third and fourth games. He thought it was the end, but he fought back in the fifth game, winning the game and dragging the series back to Boston.

The Celtics thought this was a good chance for them to win the championship at home, but Li Liang beat the Celtics again with a three-pointer in the sixth game, leaving the suspense of the finals until the last game.

"Nobody beat the Celtics in a tie-break."

Li Liang thought of what Bird said before the game, smiled, and gave such a response, "There is no absolute in everything, and what has never happened is not to tell you that it can't happen, but to motivate you. create it."

When the time came, Li Liang put on his sneakers, a pair of "Skyscraper-Skyscraper", put on the No. 11 black jersey, left the locker room with his teammates, and ran to the ancient Garden Arena.

The real showdown is about to begin.
